This website gives you a brief insight into who I am and what I'm about.

I'm a firm believer in communities being resilient, supportive and protective of the vulnerable. Life has become busy and people have less time to notice those who struggle. We work long hours, often travelling many miles to fulfil our brief and its then easy to miss what is going on around you in our own streets, villages, towns and cities.

With the rapid adoption of technology, its easy to forget those who don't or can't adopt such technologies, meaning some get left behind and become forgotten. The organisations I work and volunteer for exist to protect such people, giving them a voice and highlighting their worth to society and reminding everyone, we all have a contribution to make, but we must create an opportunity for everyone to be able to make those contributions.

In the following pages you will see I've highlighted some of the services and skills I can provide and organisations I'm involved with, each proving a valuable service to our communities but all with an underlining theme; not for profit. Not everything in life needs to have a fee. Yes, you need money to provide some services and assistance, but money can be raised without making a charge directly to those who often need assistance but can't afford it.  The Lions is a good example, where membership comes with a subscription fee, therefore negating the need to use money raised for charitable purposes, for administrative costs - every penny raised for charity, goes to charity.

All the organisations I work with bring something amazing to their communities; could you bring something to those organisations to benefit your community?

Please have a look at the tabs on this site to understand more about the amazing organisations I volunteer for.
